1.2 Intended Use
• The device is manufactured in accordance with the current technological status and the recognized safety rules.
However, danger to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device and other tangible
assets can arise during use.
• The device may only be used for its intended purpose and if it is in perfect working order, and it must be used with
regard to safety and dangers as stated in the operating manual.
• The device applicator mounted on a cab printer of the Hermes+ series is intended exclusively for applying suitable
materials that have been approved by the manufacturer. Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded
as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from unauthorized use; the
user shall bear the risk alone.
• Usage for the intended purpose also includes complying with the operating manual, including the manufacturer‘s
maintenance recommendations and specications.
i
Notice!
The complete documentation can currently be found in the Internet.
1.3 Safety Instructions
• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff
valve at the applicator.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting.
• In operation, moving parts are easily accessible.
This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labelling position.
During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant. Before any
manipulations in those areas, close the shutoff valve.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).

• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.
• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.
• Other unauthorized work on or modications to the device can also endanger operational safety.
• Always have service work done in a qualied workshop, where the personnel have the technical knowledge and
tools required to do the necessary work.
• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to dangers.
Warning stickers must therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and
may be injured.

2 Product Description
2.1 Function
The Applicator 1000 is an optional device to use with cab printers of the Hermes + series for automatically applying
the printed label onto the product. The labels are transferred with a pad, which moves between the two positions,
starting position and labelling position, by a compressed-air driven pneumatic cylinder.
• In the starting position, the label is picked up from the printer.
• A sensor at the cylinder signals when the pad is in the starting position.
• The label is removed from the carrier ribbon directly at the dispense edge of the printer. It is sucked on the pad by
a vacuum via drillings at the bottom of the pad.
• For support, the label is also blown against the pad with an air current coming from a blow tube.
• The correct transfer of the label is controlled by a vacuum sensor.
• Next, the pad is moved down into the labelling position.
• Reaching the labelling position is conrmed by another sensor (labelling position sensor).
• In the labelling position the label is transferred onto the product.
• While the pad is moving back into the starting position, the vacuum sensor checks whether the label has been
removed from the pad.
The label can be applied with three different methods :
• Stamp on
The label is pressed directly onto the product.
• Blow on
The pad moves to a pre-adjusted position approximately 10mm away from the product. The label is blown onto
the product by an air stream.
• Roll on
In the starting position the label is forwarded until touching the roller of the roll on pad. At the labelling position the
roller is pressed onto the product. Then the label is applied and rolled on by the movement of the product.
2.2 Important Features
• The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable. That way the applicator
can be adapted to different label materials and sizes.
• The operating pressure for the cylinder is reduced in comparison to the main pressure of the applicator. So the
risk of injury is reduced as far as possible.
• To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure impulse at the end of each
application.
• For operation in a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used.

3.3 Preparing the Applicator for Using a Tamp Pad Type 1321
!
Attention!
Make sure that the pad assembly can not fall if the screws are loosen.
Risk of damages and injuries.
It's possible to use the applicator with the cylinder assembly in different high position.
That's depend by the type of
pad. In the delivery status the pad assembly is mounted in a low position. That position is suitable for the most pads.
In case of using a large tamp pad it's necessary to change the adapter prole with the, in the shipment of the tamp
included longer prole.

When the applicator is delivered, the stopper (1) is mounted on the rods (4). With this stopper the labelling position
for the operation mode "Blow on" can be adjusted. In delivery status the stopper is in a transport safety position.
Dependent of delivery time it's two different version of stopper. The function are the same.
In the operation modes "Stamp on" and "Roll on" the stopper is not needed, the stopper will moved in the top position
so far as possible.
Mounting the stopper
1. Loosen screw (3) at the stopper (1) .
2. Pull the tubes out of the lift cylinder throttle valves.
3. Move the tamp in the labeling position.
- Operation mode "Blow" : Move stopper to the guiding block.
- Operation Mode "Stamp" and "Roll" : Move the stopper up to the end of the rods (4).
4. Tighten screw (3) to x the stopper (1) position. ''Adjust the stopper''

The tamp applicator can be operated in different ways. While the original process stays the same, the operation
mode can be chosen within the printer setup.
The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on", "Blow on" and "Roll on".
Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one
labelling cycle.

waits in the start position.
Apply-Print:
An extra signal starts the print of the rst label and the transfer of the
